S1 Word Formation Exe. 4 (PFMS: Teacher Jennifer)
Word formation (25%) State the correct forms of words for the passage below Yori, a Japanese acquaintance, came to see me last month. I had planned (plan) a lot of fun activities for us to do. But, much to my surprise, one of the first things she wanted to do was take a city bus ride! This struck (strike) me as odd.I consented (consent) to follow her, despite the fact that riding (ride) a K.L. city bus was not exactly (exact) a pleasant experience for anyone, let alone a tourist (tour). Yori, on the other hand, was adamant on taking the bus and even recommended doing it alone. Of course, my parents were appalled (appall) at the prospect.We boarded the bus that would take us to the Central Market early one morning. Although the bus was not overcrowded, there was only one seat available. I begged Yori to take a seat, but she politely (polite) declined and urged that I do so. While we were bickering (bicker) , a young man boarded the bus and sat down in that empty seat. I squinted at the young man, who didn't seem to notice anything was wrong. Yori recognised the irony in the situation (situate) and laughed.A couple got off at the following (follow) stop, so we had seats. Yori occasionally (occasion) asked me questions while looking (look) out the window at the passing scene. The bus came to a halt to pick up additional (add) passengers and was soon completely (complete) full. It was a sweltering day. Despite the fact that the bus was air-conditioned, the heat was oppressive due to the large number of passengers. I didn't say anything because Yori didn't object.I'd heard a lot of stories about bus drivers who were unpleasant (pleasant) and irritable. Fortunately (Fortune) for us, the bus driver on that particular day was a gentleman. I was especially relieved (relief) since I didn't want my visitor (visit) to get a negative impression (impress) of my country.I rang the bell near the Central Market. The bus came to a complete stop. To get to the exit, we had to push our way through the crowd. However, before we could exit, the automated doors closed and the bus resumed its journey. Another passenger who wanted to get off the bus slammed (slam) his hand against the bus's side to draw the driver's attention. He, on the other hand, was utterly clueless (clue). In any case, the bus had got too far away from the stop and would have to drop us off at the next stop. I sighed. We'd have to walk to the Central Market in the scorching heat now.Yori and I exchanged a friendly (friend) smile. I inquired about her impressions of the ride. She stated she had a good day and would want to ride the bus home after her shopping (shop). It was correct. The ride went better than I had anticipated (anticipate).
